Is Yoga the same for women as it is for men?

[StormRider]

Or is there a "man-Yoga" type of exercises that men do instead?

I was shopping at Walmart and they had a bunch of cheap $5 Yoga DVD called "Yoga for Absolute Beginners" and "Yoga for Feeling Stronger Every Day" featuring Yogi Marlon Braccia.

Well, I noticed that Sting practices Yoga and I think he has a good physique. I also noticed that older women who practice Yoga tend to look younger and have a nice body.

So, I always thought that maybe I should try Yoga too. Well, I bought the DVDs but I am now wondering if I basically did the equivalent of "buying a woman's sweat shirt". Did I embarrass myself by buying these DVDs? Do men buy Yoga DVDs? If they do, do they only buy Yoga DVDs featuring men on the cover? Did the woman cashier think I was a pervert that just wanted to buy the DVDs to look at a woman wearing spandex?

Yoga is universal. You didn't buy a woman's sweat shirt. 😀

The answer is "yes" to all of your questions. Only you know, though, if you have a woman inside you. :wine:

it's the same as far as I know. there are usually alternate poses if you aren't flexible or balanced enough.

I read that as "Is Yoda the same for women as it is for men?".

The solution to all of your life's problems is purchase an internet bride!

you should have opted for the kama sutra dvd instead

yes they are for different genders. stretching is not universal.

Guys who practice Yoga do it simply for the ability to auto-fellatiate themselves.

The 3 yoga classes I know of don't segregate. Men and women are in all of the classes.
